Given what I've just seen in the England v Samoa game, Wales did well.

Maybe we should have thrown that game, so we could have had England in the quarters. :D

And when I say 'had England' I mean with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. :D

I suppose winning by 20 odd points and still being dissatisfied isnt a bad position to be in.
Yeah, weird isn’t it? A clear win but it felt a bit flat. Fair play to Georgia who put everything into that game but shipping three tries was disappointing.

I don’t think Gatland will be too happy with that.

Overall a good result, but injuries are worrying.
Costelow is still learning, we really needed Biggar or Anscombe for game management.

Samoa let a win escape against England, Samoa looked the better side overall.

That's always the way with these Tier 2 games, though.

Anything other than an uninterrupted procession to 80 points, feels like a damp squib.

But if you'd said "Wales 43-19" this morning, we'd have been well happy.

Sure there were bumps in the road, but as others have already said; how often have WE been the bumps in someone else's road, and no-one gave a damn but us?
